News and fans' stories Latest news Apply to become an Audio-Descriptive Commentator at a major international soccer tournament – we need you! (En español) Soccer fans are invited to take part in a series of Audio- Descriptive Commentary (ADC) training programs across the United States. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to receive training from global-leading experts, develop unique skills that will change the game for disabled people, and call the shots LIVE from inside the stadiums at one of the world’s biggest soccer tournaments. AccessibAll is conducting a specialized ADC training program for selected individuals who, upon completion of the program, may be selected to commentate live from inside the stadiums during the tournament. This program is available to all passionate soccer fans who have an in-depth knowledge of the game. No prior experience of commentating or ADC is required. It also provides those seeking a career in broadcasting, sports media and journalism with unparallelled experience to be a part of it all. Separate training sessions will be delivered for English and Spanish speakers, with a view to delivering ADC in both languages. Who we are AccessibAll has been partnering with leading soccer organizations across the world for over 15 years to improve the matchday experiences of disabled supporters and those with limited mobility attending live soccer matches.
